Rigger weight

[samcats]

Was wondering has anyone run a few pounds more than manufacturers specs? On the down riggers

Although it may be done it may create a premature wear situation so it would be taking your chances I guess. The motors on many of the older riggers just weren't up to lifting the heavy stuff.

I had cannon uni troll hp’s for years. I ran 15 lb just before I moved to electric. Cranking 15 # weights from down 100 ft is a chore. You don’t want any false releases for sure.

How big are the motors. I got these things called rigger ease you use a 18v drill for bringing up the weight. Some of these drill are pretty beefy torque wise

Talked to cannon customer service what a waste. Couldn't give me spec's on motor

I've had issues with service from Cannon as well.

Good luck.
